Remember when Elon Musk said he wanted X to be more PayPal-like? New docs show this plan is still on.

When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.

It’s better to call it X and not continue to soil the Twitter name.

Twitter was always shit.

Like all social media.

Yes, but at least it wasn’t X.

I still get emails from my dormant account, and according to my Gmail, the sender is, “X (formerly Twitter),” so I don’t think we’re done with that yet.

EX-twitter.

I still prefer ‘Xitter’

I liked Roman Numeral Ten.

No we’re past that point. I’d much rather call it X and have the people left on that awful network swallow the jagged X pill instead of kidding themselves into thinking they are still on Twitter.

They are Xers now.

I try to refer to it as Xitter. Posts are xeets.

How long do you do that for? He changed it to X who cares how dumb it is that is now the name.

Forever to make him mad

Never do what a billionaire wants just because they want that. Always make it upsetting for them

When the domain name changed

It’s still twitter, the place for twits, like Elon.

Strange, it still refers to itself as formally Twitter.
